What we’re about
If you are interested in learning more about insects (and related arthropods), consider joining our group. Amateurs and professionals and anyone interested in insects is welcome. We meet monthly (and typically examine a local habitat). We hike many trails and take concessional trips to museums in nearby cities (all trips are less than a day in length). If inclement weather forces cancellation of a trip on Saturday, we will try the following day (Sunday) at 1 p.m. [Check our website or message Mark via Meetup if you have a question about a given trip.] Annual dues are $10 (which includes membership in the Peoria Academy of Science). If you would like to learn more about insects, consider joining our group.
You can also find us at our website - Central Illinois Insects.
And... we have a Facebook group - Central Illinois Insects.
